This course includes three exams over the semester. Each exam will be taken from home or campus, and we will not meet that day for class. Pleasre ensure you have strong internet connection and a setting free of distrations while you test.
Exams are online and open book/note, and a mix of the following question types:
Multiple choice
You are presented with a question and a set of answers for each question, and you must choose which answer or group of answers is correct. Multiple-choice questions usually require less time for test-takers to answer than other question types, and they are easy to score and grade. They also allow for a wide range of difficulty.
True False
You are presented with a statement, and you must determine whether it is true or false. True/false questions are generally not predominant on tests because instructors know that, statistically, random guesswork can yield a good score. But when used sparingly, true/false questions can be effective.
Matching
You are presented with a set of specific terms or ideas and a set of definitions or identifying characteristics. You must match each term with its correct definition or characteristics.
